You are in no danger of holding up traffic. Watch out for speed traps.

Hi Worgoose,



Congratulations! you've hit the jackpot for all roads fun. The 1000 mile trip is good advice, make sure you throw in some formed dirt roads and some two track so you get a feel for what she can do.



One thing is that a lot of us manage to drop our Tiger in the garage or at low speed fairly shortly after we get them. They are top heavy so take a little extra care at first.



Finally a question: how does a Guzzi rider find his way onto a Tigger? Guzzis are fine bikes, but apart from the Quota, quite different.



Cheers,

I always likes Triumph and at one time conciterd both a Thunderbird Sport and a Speed Triple.   Last Year I broke my neck in a MMA match and can't do the cafe race thing anymore at least not for a full day.  Tried the Harley thing lasted 3 months, hate the costume and attitude.  I like 4 weeling but never road a dirt bike mike be too old to learn but thought if the tiger can both tour and play alittle in the dirt why not.
